Geekiest Decorations for Your Home/OfficeBy Amy-Mae Elliott on MashableWe certainly wouldn’t advocate turning your office, cubicle or home office into some kind of over-the-top dork theme park, but a few witty items carefully placed here and there can brighten up the dullest work space with some geek chic.
Having an office gives you the chance to display things you might not get away with (or indeed, want to get away with) at home. From magnificent magnets to clever clocks and wall decals, here’s a choice of ten products that will help you geek-pimp your work space in style.
iPhone Icon CoastersThese Meninos coasters are styled after the iPhone’s icons giving Apple fans somewhere cool to stick their cups. Made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) with a durable vinyl finish and a rubber bottom to stop slips, the anally retentive among you could arrange them on the coffee table as precisely as they appear on the phone’s homescreen, while the rest of us can mix ‘em up as we see fit.
Million Dollar Homepage PosterAs well as adding a splash of color to your office walls, this poster will serve as inspiration, reminding you that a small, simple idea can grow into big, fat success.
Enter Key DoormatLet your visitors know that they are entering a geek domain right from the start with this recycled rubber doormat that is modeled after the “Enter” key. Designed by Pieter Woudt, there’s also a “Home” key version if whoever you share a domicile with will let you get away with geeking out your porch.
Photoshop MagnetsWe can’t think of a better way to stick your team pics to the fridge or filing cabinet than with these Photoshop-themed magnets, another little gem from Meninos. The set comprises 13 magnets which will be very familiar to anyone who has used the photo editing software as they replicate the menus and tool bars found in the popular Adobe product.
Recycled Mac ClocksWhat’s the time? It’s geek o’ clock with these recycled Mac clocks offered by Etsy seller Pixelthis. The version pictured is the side panel of a retired Mac G4, upcycled into a working wall clock.
Fabulous Gifts for Your Beloved GeekBy Matt Silverman on MashableInternet Chat PillowsIf you intend on snuggling up next to your favorite geek this February 14th, consider these clever throw pillows that are full of plushy Internet goodness. They come in three flavors — chat heart pink, chat heart red, and a Mac lovin’ logo tribute — and are a great way to express your feelings, outside of emoticons, of course.
8-Bit NecktieSend your husband/boyfriend/secret tech support crush to work in this exquisitely nerdy necktie that any longtime gamer would be proud to don. With this, your geek-squeeze can scorn the young hotshots at his office, with their high-resolution business wear, and explain that back in his day he only had 8 bits (16 if you were lucky), and he didn’t complain about it.
Temporary Geek TattoosLet’s face it. Your darling may be a hardcore geek, but he’s not that hardcore. If the thought of getting a “w00t!” tramp stamp is appealing but just too permanent, consider these temporary tattoos full of Interweb and gaming geekdom. The 16 tats come in a nice little hardcover book, and would guarantee instant clout at hacker bars, if there were such a thing.
